Chapter 260 The end of the play
"Wow, this is the port city!"
"If you ask me, I don't know. It's my first time here!"
The two tour buses had just stopped, and a group of young people in suits and ties stepped out of the bus one after another, with curiosity and joy rippling on everyone's faces.
I was a little surprised when I looked around at the numerous high-rise buildings, which looked like towering peaks towering over Hong Kong Island.
This group of people is the 59 students from the Mechanical Class 3 of Jiaotong University. They came to Hong Kong for the first time in order to rush to the market.
To apply for a passport, fly from Shanghai to Shenzhen, then take a tour bus from Shenzhen to the Sheraton Hotel near Victoria Harbor in the port city. All expenses are borne by Hualian Supermarket Company, including hotel expenses.
In addition, everyone also has 10,000 Hong Kong dollars in cash on hand.
The distance between Victoria Harbor and the Stock Exchange in Hong Kong City Central is about 2 to 3 kilometers. When the bell rings for listing, they can go there.
After they checked into the hotel, they were stunned by the high price tag.
"Oh my god, it costs at least seven to eight hundred yuan a night, usually one to two thousand yuan."
"It's too expensive. One night's stay is equivalent to my mother's salary for a year."
"If you can live somewhere else, you can save this money."
Several students really couldn't bear to spend this money. Even though they spent a lot of money in the past year, they were doing it from store to store, and the actual amount of money they handled each time was not large.
When traveling on business in domestic cities, staying in a hotel costs only a few dozen yuan per night at most.
Yang Tan looked at several classmates who were speechless and couldn't help but despise: "Can you guys have some courage? You are all billionaires, and you are so stingy about staying in a hotel."
"Brother Yang, that's money on the surface, but it hasn't been cashed out yet. We are poor when we come here." During the Chinese New Year this year, each of them received 50,000 yuan in dividends, and another 10,000 to 20,000 yuan the year before. Yuan has not been used up. Everyone has tens of thousands of yuan on hand, except for some classmates who gave all the money to their families.
Tens of thousands of yuan is a lot of money in China, but when they saw the price of the hotel, they were frightened. They felt like spending money was like water. Their tens of thousands of yuan couldn't last long.
Fortunately, hotel expenses and business trip expenses are all borne by the company, and there is indeed a lot of liquidity in the company account.
Yang Tan still said seriously: "Anyway, don't make a fuss. The locals are looking down on us. We feel like we have never seen the world. Not only are you embarrassed, but the boss is also embarrassed."
Zhang Li, secretary of the Communist Youth League, strongly agreed: "Well, Yang Tan is right. You should spend the flowers you should, and you can't be embarrassed."
"Okay, you couple are right." A classmate joked that Yang Tan and Zhang Li fell in love in the past six months.
Yang Tan glared at the classmate who was teasing him: "I'll deal with you when I get back."
Everyone still listened to what Yang Tan and Zhang Li said. They couldn't lose face in the port city, so everyone pretended to be calm and went through the check-in procedures under the guidance of the staff.
They made a lot of preparations to participate in this listing.
This time I came here to open a Hong Kong stock account, cash out some stocks, and plan to improve my family's life and buy a house in Shanghai.
They have decided internally that after the Xinghai Group's villa area is completed, everyone plans to buy it collectively and the classmates will be neighbors. This will also help Fang Bai solve some sales.
Fangbai is the major shareholder, accounting for more than 5%. It is not allowed to transfer within 6 months after listing, is not allowed to lose control within 12 months, and has a two-year lock-in period.
That is to say, it will be two years before Fang Bai can cash out his shares, and every time he cashes out a large amount, it is not that easy.
Although it cannot be liquidated at this time, it is possible to use the shares as collateral for loans.
Of course, banks are very risky when borrowing shares as collateral. They usually do not accept mortgages from ordinary people, or the mortgage ratio is extremely low.
A classmate and other classmates asked: "The boss is also staying in this hotel, right? Where did the others go?"
"I don't know. He has a lot on his plate. He is too worried about going public."
"Well, just take care of ourselves and don't cause trouble to the boss."
At this time, Fang Bai and Qin Shuyu were attending a party organized by Huifeng Bank.
Fang Bai may not be well-known in the Hong Kong city, but he has huge energy in the international financial market and domestically. It will be listed the day after tomorrow. Huifeng Bank is also a shareholder and is the securities firm responsible for the listing of Hualian Supermarket Company.
In the next two days, the staff arranged by Fang Bai took the students from the Mechanical Class 3 to apply for Hong Kong stock trading accounts.
During these two days, these students wandered around Victoria Harbor and did not dare to go too far.
Monday, May 15th.
This day is particularly important for Hualian Supermarket Company.
In order to ensure a successful listing, Fang Bai and the 59 students in the third mechanical class did a lot of work.
At nine o'clock in the morning, 59 students from Class 3 of Mechanical Engineering had already arrived at the Hong Kong City Securities Center.
In the hall of the exchange, the atmosphere was solemn and warm. Hualian Supermarket Company held a listing bell-ringing ceremony here, marking its official entry into the international capital market.
The hall was packed with investors, media and guests from all over the world gathering to witness this historic moment.
The Hong Kong stock market opens at 10:00 in the morning and closes at 12:30 noon every day; it opens at 14:30 and closes at 16:00 in the afternoon.
The bell-ringing ceremony for Hualian Supermarket Company's listing was scheduled for 10 a.m. Fang Bai was wearing a dark suit today, and next to him was Qin Shuyu in a formal dress.
Fang Bai still attached great importance to his first listed company and came to Hong Kong City in person.
After all, he is the only one in the entire company who is most familiar with these investors and brokers, and he also has experience in dealing with the media.
Not long after he arrived, media reporters spotted him and interviewed him.
"Hello, Mr. Fang, congratulations on the upcoming IPO of Hualian Supermarket Company. How do you feel at this time?"
Fang Bai faced the media reporters with a confident face, a slight smile on his lips, and said calmly: "I'm a little excited. Hualian Supermarket Company has been going so smoothly all the way. The future development will be even better. I believe it can go public smoothly." And soared into the sky.
In addition, I am very grateful to all the employees, shareholders and investors of Hualian Supermarket. Please also believe that investing in Hualian Supermarket will receive generous returns on investment. "
"Mr. Fang, what price do you expect the stock price to rise to today?"
"It's hard to say, I'm not a professional, I'm just very confident in Hualian Supermarket's revenue, and the facts have proven it.
At the same time, the stock price reflects the operating conditions, but it does not fully represent it. For example, some companies are obviously profitable, but the stock price just falls, which is quite mysterious. "Fang Bai avoided this problem. If he said it was too high and the stock price did not reach it in the end, he would be embarrassed.
If the forecast is low, the investor says he is not optimistic about his company.
Next, Fang Bai accepted interviews from several media reporters.
The time soon reached ten o'clock in the morning, and Fang Bai, Qin Shuyu, representatives from Citigroup and Huifeng Bank stood beside the ancient clock.
When the time came, several people rang the bell together with smiles on their faces.
As the bell rang, warm applause and cheers erupted in the hall.
At this moment, Hualian Supermarket Company became the darling of the Hong Kong capital market, and its stock code will forever be engraved in the hall of the exchange.
After ringing the bell, Fang Bai stood on the stage and delivered a touching speech, expressing his gratitude to investors, partners and employees.
He said that Hualian Supermarket Company will continue to provide customers with better products and services.
After the speech, Fang Bai had in-depth exchanges and took photos with investors, guests and media.
Of course, what Fang Bai and investors are looking forward to more is how high Hualian Supermarket's stock can rise today.
The initial estimate is 25 billion yuan, equivalent to 27.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the issue price per share is 11 Hong Kong dollars.
Hong Kong stocks have no price limit and implement T+0 trading method.
It has just been launched and is showing an upward trend.
By the time the market closed at 12:30 noon, the stock price had risen to HK$14.5.
For this price, Fang Bai is satisfied for the time being.
For him, as long as the stock price is around HK$15, it's good that the stock price can be stable.
If the stock price is too low, he will invest funds to repurchase it.
Fang Bai is optimistic about the development of Hualian Supermarket, which will ensure high profits every year for at least the next ten years.
At the close of trading in the afternoon, the stock price stabilized at HK$16.5, a 50% increase on the first day, with a market value of 37.5 billion yuan.
Fang Bai’s personal shares are approximately 39.312%, worth 14.742 billion yuan.
Each student's shares were diluted to 0.432%, worth 162 million yuan.
Compared to Fang Bai, who was already down on wealth, his classmates couldn't contain their excitement. They all became real billionaires and called their families to announce the good news.
On that day, 59 students all cashed out a small proportion, with an average of about 20 million yuan per person, accounting for about 0.05%.
This shareholding ratio has little impact on them, with about 0.372% remaining.
They are more worried that this is a dream, and only the money they get is real.
On the same day, a domestic media reported on these dozens of students.
"The listing of Hualian Supermarket created 59 billionaires," the article reported: "It is reported that Hualian Supermarket Company was successfully listed in Hong Kong City on May 15, with an issue price of HK$11 per share and a closing price of HK$16.5 that day. The opening rose by 50%.
Fang Bai personally holds about 39.312% of the shares, worth 14.742 billion yuan. His personal wealth has exceeded 50 billion yuan, and his actual wealth is very likely to reach 100 billion yuan.
But what attracts more attention to the public is that each of his 59 classmates holds a shareholding ratio of 0.432%. According to the closing price, the value is 162 million yuan, making him an enviable billionaire.
After the successful listing, Fang Bai announced that he would spend 100 million yuan to reward the company's employees and management.
In this regard, investment institutions holding larger shares agreed with Fang Bai's suggestion. "
After the report, social response and public opinion were intense, and the media frantically pursued the report.
Readers are surprised by the market value of Hualian Supermarket and are even more envious of the dozens of students.
After the news spread in Jiaotong University, the Jiaotong University school hung up a banner to promote, "Congratulations to Hualian Supermarket Company for its successful listing in Hong Kong, with a market value of 37.5 billion yuan!"
The leaders of Jiaotong University are not fools. Those 59 students are the gods of wealth. I still hope they can donate more or less.
One person can donate hundreds of thousands of yuan, and dozens of people can donate tens of millions of yuan.
At the same time, this is something worth showing off for Jiaotong University. The school supported them in starting their own business and achieved success.
The next day, Tuesday.
Hualian Supermarket's stock rose slightly when the market opened in the morning, but in the afternoon the stock price returned to around 16 Hong Kong dollars, which also made the newly promoted billionaire students breathe a sigh of relief.
For them, it doesn't matter how sharp the rise is, as long as the stock price can be stabilized.
On this day, they teamed up to purchase gifts and will return to Shanghai tomorrow.
Cui Xiaoqiang spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy himself a brand-name watch, and spent more than 200,000 yuan to buy some jewelry for his girlfriend Qi Ran. The first time I spent this money, I was encouraged by my roommate, saying that once you have money, you should be willing to spend it and don’t be picky about it.
Cui Xiaoqiang felt that it made sense. If they spent money normally, their 20 million yuan would be deposited in the bank regularly, and the interest alone would be worth millions of yuan every year.
In addition, there are also dividends from Hualian Supermarket, which is also quite a lot.
After he returns, he plans to buy a car and two mobile phones, and donate another one million yuan to his hometown.
Wang Yifei called his family. During the call, he looked very proud: "Dad, our company was successfully listed. The shares your son took are worth 160 million yuan. I withdrew 15 million yuan in cash and planned to buy a house owned by our monitor real estate company." If you have financial difficulties with the villas built by Shanghai City, please let me know."
His parents were shocked when they heard what their son said.
The couple worked hard for ten years to build a small machinery factory with assets of hundreds of thousands of yuan, which is not as good as giving their son a fortune.
Other students are also sharing their happiness with their families and discussing how to spend the money.
…
Two months later,
Fang Bai successfully graduated from the undergraduate program and continued his graduate studies at Jiaotong University.
However, it is still a day study for graduate school, just a formality.
Fang Bai donated 200 million yuan to Jiaotong University on behalf of Xinghai Group, and each of his classmates donated 500,000 yuan to support the construction of Jiaotong University's new campus.
In addition, Fang Bai's sister Fang Tingting did not go to Jiaotong University to study, but studied at Fu D. She will be a sophomore next semester.
She didn't want to study at Jiaotong University. She was mainly afraid of her brother's reputation at Jiaotong University. She was really afraid that when she walked on campus, students would "point" at her behind her back and say, "Look, that's Fang Bai's sister."
In high school, teachers and students knew that she was the younger sister who topped the college entrance examination, and they often compared her siblings. In the past three years, she had had enough, so she wanted to find a school where others didn't pay much attention to her, and it was close to her sister-in-law's school.
In the next four years, she plans to keep a low profile. It is troublesome if she is too famous.
Therefore, he only wore ordinary clothes and did not let the bodyguards follow him too closely. He did not do anything special. He just lived in the dormitory and brought a BB player.
In the past year, her roommates didn't notice anything special about her, she was just a child from a relatively wealthy family.
Two months later,
Fang Bai was actually studying for graduate school. On the evening of September 5, he suddenly received a golden finger reminder.
His index finger has been upgraded!
[Tip 1: Outstanding undergraduate graduates from Shencheng City will receive honors +LV1]
[Tip 2: Get admitted to a top university and graduate + LV2]
[Tip 3: The index finger gold finger can be upgraded to level 7. Do you want to upgrade? 】
Fang Bai was overjoyed after reading the message.
The index finger is too difficult to upgrade. The last upgrade was four years ago.
Now, he was suddenly promoted to level 3, directly to level 7, which shocked him very much.
"upgrade!"
For a moment, he felt a heat on his right index finger, and his head felt a little cool.
After a while, Fang Bai found that Golden Finger's index finger had changed, his mind became clearer, and he could remember things he saw in the blink of an eye.
Mo Nian opened the golden finger and was extremely surprised when he saw the message.
[Index finger LV5: memory and understanding ability permanently increased eight times, hands-on ability +1]
[Index finger LV6: memory and understanding ability permanently increased sixteen times]
[Index finger LV7: photographic memory, brain development +2%]
[Tip 1: Brain development +2% completed within one week]
Memory has changed qualitatively!
Moreover, it increases brain development by +2%!
His memory is said to be photographic, which means that if you memorize words carefully, you can probably remember them after reading them once.
But if you want to memorize it backwards and forwards, you still can't do it. You may need to read it several times and memorize it repeatedly.
No matter what, it's very abnormal now.
Fang Bai suddenly thought of the company's diesel engine electronic control system problem, which has never been solved. Now that he thought about it for a moment, he felt that his mind was suddenly enlightened. Some problems were solved easily. Those problems that were more troubling, he also believed that it would not take long to solve.
At level 4, Fang Bai can do mental arithmetic by multiplying two-digit numbers and two-digit numbers;
Now, he can do mental arithmetic of multiplying four-digit numbers by four-digit numbers. It would be extremely difficult if the number is one larger.
It can be said that as long as Fang Bai is given enough time and has enough basic knowledge, he can solve most technical problems.
Xinghai Group's technical strength will also rise several levels as a result.
…
Time is like sand, slipping from your fingers bit by bit, and two years have gone by in an instant.
July 10, 1997, a special day.
This month, Qin Shuyu graduated from graduate school.
This day was also the wedding day of Fang Bai and Qin Shuyu, and the ceremony was held at Fangfu Manor in Wencheng.
At the beginning of last year, Fang Manor had been renovated for more than half a year, and the family moved into the new villa.
By the beginning of 1997, Lanhua Yuan's occupancy rate had reached 35%.
Currently, there are still 30 or 40 villas that have not been sold, and the prices are 30% more expensive than when they were first launched.
The average housing price in Oubei has risen to 5,000, which is more expensive than in downtown Shencheng.
Today, well-known dignitaries in Wencheng attended Fang Bai's wedding and witnessed their wedding of the century.
Today, Xinghai Group is one of the world's top 500 companies, and Fang Bai's personal wealth has exceeded 100 billion yuan, making him the richest man in Asia.
Some time ago, Fang Bai's middle finger golden finger was upgraded to level 8 and gained the [Synthetic Technology] function, that is, two physical objects with different level 1 technologies can be upgraded to level 2, but they can only be synthesized once.
This function is very powerful. He can buy other people's advanced products and then synthesize them to obtain more advanced products and technologies, and always be ahead of others.
At the same time, his ring finger has also reached level 8, and he can cast Bad Luck again to +20, which means that the total can be increased by 40, which means that 40 points of other people's luck can be subtracted.
Until now, Fang Bai has not used this function.
But today, among his guests, he met Song Yang, the general manager of Star City Company, and his son Song Jian. Song Jian was the main cause of his family's disaster.
Xingcheng Company is a real estate company. In this life, due to the pressure of Xinghai Real Estate Company, its development has not been smooth.
There are still four years left before the disaster occurred in the previous life. Due to the butterfly effect, the same car accident may not happen again in this life.
However, Fang Bai unceremoniously cast bad luck on Song Jianmin.
Fang Bai felt a little dizzy while the world was spinning, but he recovered quickly. However, his energy was lost and he felt slightly exhausted.
However, with his unrivaled drinking capacity, coping with today's cocktail party is not a problem at all.
The next day, Fang Bai unleashed his bad luck.
Two days later, when Song Yang was taking his family to the south for a vacation, Song Yang, who was driving at high speed, suddenly felt dizzy and had no time to brake. The car crashed directly off the bridge and fell from a floor of more than 20 meters to the hard ground. Several members of the family died.
After Fang Bai learned the news, he was extremely shocked: This bad luck-casting function is so abnormal that it can kill people invisible.
But no matter what, he felt relieved and no longer felt guilty when facing Qin Shuyu.
A year later, Fang Bai's twin children were born. The man was named Fang Ye and the girl was named Fang Yu.
Two years later, it was March 2000.
The stocks held by Xinghai Investment Company were gradually sold, and after excluding interest payments to investors, the company earned more than US$70 billion.
At this time, Xinghai Group was already a behemoth, and Fang Bai's personal wealth exceeded US$100 billion, making him the world's richest man.
Moreover, Xinghai Group continues to emerge with black technologies, leading the country to promote the global technological process. (End of chapter)
